A great debut novel with a fantastic central character. Look forward to reading more in the series. Tense storyline that kept me hooked.

"All His Pretty Girls" by Charly Cox is a spine-tingling and suspenseful thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat, eager to uncover the chilling truth.

My first book by this author and oh my god I was hooked. The author knows how to let her killer hide in plain sight, fooling everyone. They were cruel and very clever. They had to be to be able to survive what they went through themselves. Being treated the way they were, being lied to the way they were... it was heartbreaking, leading to people turning into revenge seeking missiles.

Alyssa has a family made in heaven. Well maybe except for the mother-in-law she would gladly return to the store and ask for a refund if she could :). She has a loving husband who understands what she has to invest in order to being a good detective, two teenagers who are being teenagers, but they are great kids.

This story is filled with heartbreak and suspense. The raw emotions are balanced by the feelings of love and the banter. When the identity of the killer was revealed I could not believe my eyes. My mouth fell open and stayed open for a while. 

If I have to pick my favorite character is has to be Isaac, without a doubt. 

Great book with an amazing twist. Kudos to the author for a job well done. :) 5 stars

Thank you

This was a real edge of your seat thriller, with so many twists and turns, you wont know which way is up! Fantastic and gripping read!

Thrilling plot which I could not put down. Brilliant characters, and twists and turns. Highly recommend to other fans of this genre!!

I hope Charly Cox writes more books I really enjoyed this.

Well written, good characters and cracking storyline. Recommended

A great read, couldn't put it down! I raced through it in less than a day. Looking forward to reading more from the author in the future.

Wow! I read some of the reviews on this book and how the violence was too much.

I have to disagree. This story tells it like it is. In situations such as what this story tells there is violence and people don’t like to face that reality.
Violence is real and this story captures all that reality. Kudos for writing about it.

All His Pretty Girls was such a compelling thriller that I could not put down! The killer was insane, the story was addictive and the writing was fantastic. This is everything I want when I pick up a police procedural!

I thought the characters were really compelling. Between the viciousness of the killer and Alyssa being a fabulous main character and detective, I was hooked on every word.

I really loved All His Pretty Girls! I want to ramble on and on but that would take up your reading time. You should just trust eme on this and grab your copy! You won’t be disappointed!

What a page turner this book is!! It is very fast paced and keeps you on the edge of your seat! I really enjoyed the character development. There were a few times I had to step away from the book due to the intensity of the story. I couldn't step away for long!! I look forward to reading more by this author!

Thank you to NetGalley and Hera Books for the opportunity to read and review this book!

This first book in Cox' new series is a real page-turner. Alyssa is a detective in New Mexico with a tragic family history, a wonderful husband, and two great kids. She and her partner, Cord, work together like a well-oiled machine. When they catch a case about a missing woman, they being their investigation by first looking at the husband, but he does not seem to be the perpetrator. With very little information, Alyssa and her team struggle to gain a footing with the case. When the missing woman is found still alive, there's hope for her survival and perhaps identification of the kidnapper. Her death removes that potential information and brings the team back to square one. In the midst of the early investigation, the story is woven between the dead woman's experience that led to her kidnapping and the investigation, and ultimately includes the man behind what appears to be a serial killer. As the reader learns Alyssa's sad childhood. the plot thickens with more connections between the past and the present that anyone can see. It's an exciting story with a wonderfully strong and likable main character. I look forward to the next episode of Alyssa's life.

This was hands down one of my favorite books. From beginning to end, it has you at the edge of your seat. I could not put it down. I am looking forward to reading more from this Author, for it was a first time reading his material.

I came across this book/author on Netgalley and loved the blurb, so thought why not give it a chance? I am so glad I did because I LOVE this book! Of course, I have no triggers when it comes to reading, but if you do than please (as much as it pains me to say) pass.

I will not leave any spoilers because I think the reader deserves to enjoy this journey themselves. I will say the characters are awesome (even the evil ones), there are lots of twists/turns, murder, kidnapping, pretty graphic violence (triggers I mentioned earlier), and a great ending that I did figure out, but some won't until it's revealed.

When an author draws out all my emotions than it deserves 5 stars. I am so looking forward to starting the second book (Toy Box) in this series.

I am reviewing a copy of All His Pretty Girls through Hera Books and Netgalley:



Alyssa Wyatt is a detective who is hunting a serial killer. The thing she doesn’t know is the serial killer is hunting her as well.





The discovery of a badly beaten, naked woman who is barely alive in the New Mexico mountains sends Albuquerque Detective Alyssa Wyatt into a case that will test her to her limits.





From the looks of things Callie McCormick is the latest plaything of a shadowy psychopath, a psychopath that leaves long shadows on the streets of New Mexico. He is an individual who is linked to a string of murders, but he leaves no no evidence behind.







When Alyssa has a breakthrough on the case that may lead her to the killer. In discovering the breakthrough she unknowingly puts herself in the crosshairs of a brutal maniac who is out to settle a score.



The killer knows Alyssa very well, despite the fact she doesn’t even know him. But he is determined that she will know his name even if it means he has to extract deadly revenge on everyone she loves.






If you like powerful, fast paced crime fiction that leaves you guessing, I would recommend All His Pretty Girls.






Five out of five stars!





Happy Reading!

I thought this book was a great introduction to Detective Alyssa Wyatt and her Partner Cord. They are investigating the disappearance of a missing woman and then a woman is found badly beaten. Is it a coincidence that both women look similar to Detective Wyatt.
I loved all the characters in this book and, although I figured out who the bad guy was, enjoyed following the investigation. I also liked that the story also showed Wyatt family life.
I enjoyed so much I’m now going straight on to read book two.
Thanks to Hera books and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for a honest review.

Set in New Mexico and introducing Detective Alyssa Wyatt, this is a fantastic read with twists and turns aplenty. The premise of this novel is very tricksy and i loved that about it. The idea that the detective is being hunted but is completely unaware of that is inspired. As Wyatt focusses of finding the abducted girl, the killer focusses on getting closer to her. Wyatts work/life vbalance is beutifully explored, making her well rounded as a character and giving us access to her weaknesses as well as her strengths. Some of the scenes had my jaw hitting the floor at the audacity of the killer. Breath taking, fast paced and well plotted.

Gripping! Detective Alyssa Wyatt confronts her last trauma with current case which becomes personal. Keeps you on your seat a a guessing up until the end. Can’t wait to read Detective Wyatts next case.

I received an #ebook copy of this title via #netgalley. This book was very #triggering to me and I found myself unable to go on. When I am in a better #mindset I will continue this story.

It was so refreshing to read a detective who has a loving family and a pretty ordinary home life. However, it soon gets dark. There is so much suspense. At one part I was so scared for a certain character, I could not stop reading. I did work out the twist but wow what a twist. It was such an incredible read and I am going to need more from this author asap. It was gruesome and creepy and everything I look for in a crime thriller.

This is an enjoyable new protagonist with an interesting back story. She is not impetuous like so many protagonists now and she follows the rules. The part about her caffeine addiction was way over written and I had a hard time believing that a cop would not get an alarm fixed asap. While you see the ending coming it still pulls together nicely. I look forward to reading more in this series.
